Wishing you could afford to advertise or send a message to someone in the sky like that Goodyear airship hovering around sporting events? Or, want to propose to your partner in a special way? You don't have to break the 'Piggy Bank' or empty your wallet. Save it for the ring. Follow these steps to create your own flying model of an airship

You have several options for how you make your gondola float. Pick your method depending on how heavy the item you want to lift is, how much control and power you want, and what materials you have available to you.

Too much pressurized helium could burst the airtight seal and cause your airship to plummet and fall.

Keep the helium/air pressure inside the balloon just high enough to inflate most of the way. The buoyancy of your balloon is reduced when compressed and will not have as much lifting power as it should.
